The Hobbit Rifle

Y’all ever wish you had a compact bolt gun instead for follow up shots?

Love the idea of the CVA scout. Telescoping stock would be great for the wife and daughter. The TC are awesome too but the price for a new barrel is around the same for another new rifle

I built one in a .308 years ago after reading this thread. My daughter loves it. What I have found is I use it just about every time she’s not with me.
I’ve also shot multiple hogs and coyotes with it at one time. They reload super fast.

Now the only thing I don’t like is my daughter is to the age of hunting by her self. She really struggles to let the hammer down.
I don’t like her waiting on me with the hammer back inside a shooting a house.
The only other draw back is twice on big deer. She has squeezed the trigger guard instead of the trigger. One time actually breaking open the rifle alerting the deer.

So for me it’s a great rifle. For my daughter I went ahead and purchased her an sig cross sawtooth.

If I’m hunting where I anticipate having multiple follow up shots (Hogs, Doe management hunts) , I’m bringing the Rem700 or AR.

The CVA Scout’s & TC Encores fill that niche where you want a (relatively) lightweight, extremely compact gun for longer hikes, shooting houses, quick hunts etc… where you have 1 tag and/or only anticipate shooting 1 animal.

You CAN reload a single shot relatively quickly (especially with an SAP 2-Rounder), but are they are fast as a smooth bolt gun or AR? NO.

They’re an extremely fun, handy and versatile weapon for the arsenal.

Good looking rig there!

I wish they came a bit lighter on the scale.

I muzzy hunt now so moving to a rifle I am having a hard time convincing myself of still only having 1 shot. Although a follow up on a brake action is still so much faster than the muzzy.

If only my wife understood needing multiple guns for multiple purposes lol

Thank you! It was built as a “truck gun” and/or loaner gun, but has quickly become my favorite whitetail rifle. I have several other rifles but I grab this gun 90% of the time

I honestly don’t understand why folks sweat the weight. These guns sit around 7# loaded out, which IMO is a perfect hunting weight.
Guys want these 3-4# guns but from a shoot-ability standpoint, accuracy begins to suffer. Go hit the gym if a 7# gun is “heavy” in all honesty.

I don’t really sweat my Wife over her purchases and she does the same for me. Unless they’re “big” purchases LOL but my gun collecting is in a good place, I’d rather prioritize other things nowadays tbh
